Time 25m

Yield 1 to 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons olive oil
1 very large leek, white part only, sliced thin and rinsed well
1 teaspoon thyme leaves
Salt
pepper
5 large raw egg whites
3 tablespoons grated pecorino
1/2 cup baby arugula or other salad green
1/4 cup mizuna or other salad green
Half a lemon

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 350 degrees. In a 7-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat, melt the butter with 2 tablespoons olive oil and cook until bubbling. Add the leek and sauté until it begins to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the thyme, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 1 more minute.
  • In a small mixing bowl, whisk the egg whites with 2 tablespoons pecorino. Add to the skillet and gently stir together with the leeks for 1 minute, to gently scramble them. Scrape down sides of the pan.
  • Transfer to the oven and bake until the center of the frittata stiffens (check by gently shaking the pan) and it is fully cooked, about 7 minutes. Transfer to a plate, and sprinkle with the remaining tablespoon pecorino.
  • Toss the arugula and mizuna with the remaining 2 teaspoons olive oil and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper and place on the frittata.

Overall, I thought this recipe was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

The frittata was too oily for my liking. I think I would have been better off using less olive oil.

I had trouble getting the frittata to set in the pan. I ended up having to cook it for longer than the recipe said.

This frittata was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had added some more herbs or spices.
